Windows Games Utilities Mine-imator Mine-imator. You can create animated shorts using blocks, items and the characters from Minecraft, make your creations pop using particles, lights and camera effects and share your finished video with the world using sites like YouTube. Mine-imator is a program designed to create animations for Minecraft.

This free software was originally created by David Norgren. Use blocks, items, and characters from the game, such as zombies, creepers, skeletons, and spiders.Īpply multiple camera effects and textures, add particles and lights. I named the project Mine-imator 1.Build various animations for the sandbox video game Minecraft. Huge schematics could be imported lightning fast and graphics were rendered much more efficiently due to Studio's improved 3D. Mine-imator: Community EditionĪnd so I did. I knew GameMaker:Studio had been released, but it was known to be very unstable from fellow GameMaker users, so I waited until YoYoGames the creators of GameMaker hopefully had sorted the big bugs out. I always had the idea to bring Mine-imator to a new level as my 3D experience had greatly evolved at this point. Work continued throughoutwith slightly more features being added, perhaps most notably the long requested bendable arms. I was overwhelmed by the amount of downloads and feedback as the Note Block Studio or any earlier project had never had this level of success. Mine-imator were to be released publicly a few days after the Meet The Pyro upload in August As Frossa's video got more viral, more hype was generated and when the crude program was released, it became an instant-hit. It was just meant to be a simple thing Frossa used for his animations, but I realized that, with the newly created schematic file importer, it could be used to make entire Minecraft movies, so I implemented a simple. With the release of SFM came the idea to release Mine-imator to the public, nothing I had ever considered before. During the summer I experimented with generating 3D models from schematics in GameMakerand later decided that this could be implemented into Mine-imator to create some effects like the Pyro's flame thrower. I wanted the program to support a keyframe based system and multiple characters, as well as a resize-able interface. Now we're in March Progress went very slow since the project turned out to be reasonably complex compared to anything I'd done before. The name Mine-imator short for Minecraft Animator was decided almost immediately.
Since the program was very simple and the controls were crude, the end result were choppy, short movements as shown in Meet The Spy In Minecraft.

At around October I found Minecraft and during the course of I became more familiar with its mechanics, making tools such as a redstone simulator, a redstone display generator and most notably a music creator Minecraft Note Block Studio.Įarly Frossa was struggling to animate TF2 characters beyond what Minecraft allowed and he used my primitive 3D animator made for the competition game, with a Steve character hacked in with change-able skin.
This project failed as well due to a lack of minigame ideas. Needless to say, I lost motivation to work on the game due to my limited 3D experience. In I wanted to create a rather complex 3D game naive and ambitious teen as usual and I made a simple 3D animating program for the in-game animations, featuring the characters found in the game. See Version History This story had been told by David himself and is as follows. Mine-imator was long in conception before it's first beta version. Since that video's release, other youtube channels have started forming and thus the popularity. The program reached critical acclaim after the release of Frossa's Meet the Pyro in Minecraft video. It is well known for being easy to use, graphically pleasing, and being freeware. Mine-imator is a 3D animation software created by David Norgren back in August 21st, The program has since been in development for four years, undergoing various improvements, bugfixes, and graphical updates.
